The ‘Berrys Are Waiting On Us!
May is the month of Strawberries, and it just so happens that the Strawberry Growers Capital of the World is just up the road a stretch in Portland, TN. So…. why not go to their festival and help them celebrate? Devron and Lou Ann Steele have offered to lead a group to Portland on Saturday, May 14th to check out this year’s crop — and see what the locals are up to.
We’ll meet at the Goodlettsville Cracker Barrel (235 Long Hollow Pike, Goodlettsville TN 37072, I-65 Exit 97) at 9:45 am with a departure time of 10:00am. We’ll take some back roads to Portland arriving about 11:00 am. After sampling some strawberry treats, we can enjoy the free music concert. For those so inclined, the parade will start at 4:00pm.
We’ve never been to the Festival but we plan on grazing during the day as there should be a variety of opportunities to snack and nibble on local vittles so we’re not planning a formal lunch.
We plan to park at the Portland High School and ride the shuttles (available from 9AM – 6:30 PM) to and from the Festival location.

If you want to join us, please let us know by Friday the 13th so we can look for you at the Cracker Barrel.
